The current occupant promised “change”.

Since the powers that be believe in Darwin’s survival of the fittest theory (in a literal sense) why do they insist on putting warning labels on everything?“But the point was that the fittest did not need to struggle against the unfit. The survivor had nothing to do except to survive, when the others could not survive. He survived because he alone had the features and organs necessary for survival. And, whatever be the truth about mammoths or monkeys, that is the exact truth about the present survival of religion. It is surviving because nothing else can survive.” - GKC
